One reader inspired by China Machado (we just had to share)

We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from readers on Bridget Foley’s March story on the legendary model and Avedon muse China Machado. In one of the accompanying images (shot by Bruce Weber, styled by Camilla Nickerson), the 70-something Machado donned a dress constructed of Avedon portraits of herself.

A reader named Ana Covey of Oklahoma City, OK, told us that she and her 15-year-old daughter, Kaitlin, were so inspired that they spent three hours replicating the look with scissors, a role of tape and the March issue of W. It was too good not to share.
